Humans can actually outrun a horse under certain conditions, notably hot temperatures and extreme distances.

But like if he could have ridden a horse and then ran and found a new horse ya know? Maybe he could have lived

Funnily enough, a pony train has been the solution many times throughout history. A messenger would ride one horse to exhaustion, jump on another at a depot, and continue.
